Fishing and Shipping

Well it's steady as she goes here in Wake Forest as of late. It hard to adjust and do things different when your schedule demands that it be such a rigid one to begin with. I'm slowly starting to use every single minute that I can, and still I fail to do so sometimes. I'm also starting to realize the beauty of waking up early you allot yourself so much more extra time that way.

It's been a rough couple weeks here recently @ UPS I've been the favorite focus of constructive ridicule I'm having and have been having trouble with misloads (putting the right package in the wrong bag). I just press on and tell my supervisors that I'm doing my best and thats all that anyone can expect from me. It's not negligence or anything of that sort. For the most part its getting tunnel vision and not thoroughly reading the address label. My mother will want to be concerned about my previous statements but what she doesn't realize is that its UPS(they get concerned and turn right around and don't care about it whatever it may be)

So after some odd years of I don't know what I've recently become interested in the art of fishing. So much more that attaching a worm to hook w/ a bobber and just letting is sit. I'm talking about bait fishing and luring fish out and getting them to strike. It was a blast yesterday it was slow start for me but as for my roommate he caught 8 smallmouth all together I managed to to catch 3 towards the end of the day. All in all a great time.

Fishing also reminds me how we as Christians struggle with temptation we see the bait what the world has to offer but what he don't know intially is lurking within that shining piece is a dangerous hook. It's only by grace and the fellow Christians around us that we're able to throw that hook and get away.

Fragile!!!...Handle w/ care

This inspiration to write this time comes from my place of employment oddly enough. I finally reached my seniority so now I have to either steal something, start fight, or set off a bomb in the building to get fired. In the short and long 7 months that I've been employed at UPS I've seen many packages with the special label Fragile: Handle w/ Care. Now to you the receiver of such a said package with aforementioned label in your ideal imagination would like to believe and think that; that package has been handled with the "care" that has been requested by that said label. I'm here to testify to the contrary. The Fragile label means nothing to the common package handler. I've seen a many fragile package sail through the air like it was a football. Now not to worry you the receiver this is not the norm I'm just reporting what I've seen @ both Fedex and UPS both major shippers.

We are back to classes after "spring break" and with that test are soon to follow. I got to see a good and familiar face today in the person of Victor Lee from my home church that and free meal is always good too.

Congrats to the NC State Wolfpack are in order for hanging in there and making sure that the Duke Blue Devils went down like a bunch of punks that they are.

Discussion time: Do you think Henderson's foul was flagrant or intentional????

ITS TOURNEY TIME.....GET CRAZY!!!!!!!
